Ai Weiwei is such a world renound artist and is so influential that as I was researching him this week no only where there several different video interviews he had taken part of on various new sources but their was also a very interisting article that poped up written about him by the Smithsonian Magazine in 2012. This article titled Is Ai Weiwei China’s Most Dangerous Man? instantly drew my attention. The writer Mark Stevens goes into great deapth on how the chinese government and Ai Weiwei have had a great deal of friction between them over the lifetime of the artist. With the articile comparing Ai Weiwei artistic attitude to that of Warhol, the message comes across clearly that Ai Weiwei has a statment he wants to make about China and the many wrongs that they have done or continue to do, Ai Weiwei will draw attention to them. For China having someone air that draws this much world wide attention to the negative aspects of your county this make him surley the most dangerous man.
